Cordonata Capitolina, Renaissance staircase at Capitoline Hill, Italy
The Cordonata Capitolina extends as a wide sloping path with low steps, connecting Piazza d'Aracoeli to Piazza del Campidoglio in Rome.
Giacomo della Porta constructed this monumental stairway in 1581 following Michelangelo's design for Charles V's entry into Rome in 1536.
Two granite Egyptian lions from the Temple of Isis flank the base of the stairs, while statues of Castor and Pollux stand at the summit.
The gradual incline and shallow steps allow both pedestrians and horses to ascend the Capitoline Hill with minimal difficulty.
A bronze statue of Cola di Rienzo near the stairs base marks the location where the Roman tribune faced execution in 1354.
